Question
climate change causes the ice in polar regions to melt. which describes an effect of polar ice melting?
○ global warming increases
○ sea levels rise
○ greenhouse gas emissions rise
○ earth surface temperatures decrease
When polar ice melts, the large - volume of water is added to the oceans, causing sea levels to rise. Global warming causes polar ice melting, not the other way around. Melting ice doesn't directly cause an increase in greenhouse gas emissions. And with polar ice melting, Earth's albedo decreases, leading to more heat absorption and an increase in surface temperatures, not a decrease.
